A portable lamp in solid metal and tempered glass
The body of this portable lamp is made of solid metal. The brand specifies stainless steel, left exposed on the steel version and coated with a brass finish on the other. Its surface carries the cross knurling, called Cross, a crosshatched pattern that gives the metal texture.
The light-emitting part is protected by a tempered glass shade. Inside is the light guide developed by the brand, which carries the light from the LED. As the lamp contains glass, it should be handled with care and must no longer be used if the glass is damaged.
At 22 cm high and 8.2 cm wide, the Takeout fits on a bedside table, a shelf or the corner of a desk. Its narrow format leaves room for a book or an alarm clock. The 2 finishes, brass and steel, go with the brand's other light fixtures and accessories.
Cordless lamp: battery, runtime and USB charging
The Takeout is a cordless lamp: it runs on a built-in battery, with no cable during use. This battery is of the lithium iron phosphate type, with a capacity of 25.6 Wh. It is not removable.
At full power, the runtime stated by the brand is about 14 hours. A full charge takes 5 to 6 hours, depending on the ambient temperature. The brand recommends fully charging the lamp before first use.
This USB rechargeable lamp is charged with the supplied cable, a magnetic cable with a USB type A connector. It plugs into a USB port or adapter delivering 5 V and at least 1.4 A. The power adapter is not part of the box contents: you will need your own. The cable is stored in a small black box, inside the packaging.
An LED table lamp with adjustable brightness
The Takeout is a table lamp with an integrated LED: there is no bulb to buy, and the source cannot be replaced. It uses 7 W at most and produces up to 130 lumens. Its light is a warm white of 2700 K.
This touch lamp is adjusted with a simple touch, across 3 brightness levels: 100%, 60% and 40%. A short press turns it on, then moves from one level to the next. A long press, of about 1 second, turns it off.
With 130 lumens, the Takeout gives ambient light rather than task lighting. The lowest level suits the end of the evening, the highest a dark corner of a room.
IP65 outdoor lamp: from the bedroom to the terrace
The Takeout is rated IP65 and the brand states that it can be used outdoors. This outdoor lamp can therefore accompany a meal on a terrace, a balcony or a garden table. It must not be immersed in water.
Indoors, it suits a bedroom, a living room, a dining room, an office or a kitchen. Its IP65 rating also allows it to be placed in a bathroom. It comes with a fabric bag, useful for storing it or taking it with you.
Charging is done indoors only, once the lamp is completely dry. The lamp is used between 0 and 40 °C. For cleaning, unplug the cable, then wipe with a soft cloth, dry or slightly damp, without alcohol or an abrasive sponge.
